Very sorry to report that Douglas Dunn has passed away. He was the finest Scottish poet of the post-war period. Dougie was also someone we knew and loved as a dear friend, mentor and teacher, and he will be deeply missed.

Here's a thread collating my thoughts on the 14 films I saw at this year's London Film Festival, which delivered many delights! 🧵 The first 7 or 8 are really excellent, and even those towards the end of my list (in rough order of preference) have something interesting to offer. Enjoy! #LFF #FilmSky

And as I read your thread I wonder why on earth have I not watched this even though I bought the bluray over a decade ago! Looks wonderful. Thanks for the prompt! 🔥

A Piero Piccioni soundtrack as well, which is always worth it.

With Agnès Varda's 'Cleo from 5 to 7' on BBC Four tonight, and Bergman's 'The Seventh Seal' next Saturday, it's almost like the golden days of BBC2's 'World Cinema' have returned. Bravo, BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
